Patrick Wolf

Patrick Wolf’s fourth album was originally intended to be a double-disc set entitled Battle, recorded in Battle, Hastings. The two CDs were titled The Bachelor (an album documenting a time in his life where he was traveling excessively, battling with the world around him, his self, his desire and tackling depression and bachelorhood) and The Conqueror (an album documenting his current love affair and return to a place of happiness, compassion, stability, and domestic life). Patrick has since decided to release both discs separately, so as not to overload people with too much information at one time. The first to be released, The Bachelor features collaborations with Eliza Carthy, Thomas Bloch, Alec Empire, Matthew Herbert and Tilda Swinton.
